We got this with on the PTR with the item level on the gear scaled down.It's not easy that way, but if you roll in there with 378+ item level, then it quickly becomes a joke.

We did this today very easily with a premade group of 5 in reasonable gear. The warrior tank (myself) went Fury for the boss, as the tank damage is very minimal, and we all decided on two ghouls in advance that we would kill. I'd suggest marking an area on the ground or marking a melee to follow if everyone isn't very clear on which ghouls to kill. We were able to easily focus them down with 4 DPS during that phase and the achieve followed shortly after.

GL!

Hint: rather than try and mark a specific pair of ghouls (which costs dps time), put a ground marker in advance with instructions that players kill the nearest two ghouls to it.

As Vaugn said use a ground marker to pick which ghouls, I placed 2, and since I was doing a fair bit more dps than my friend and the pug dps, I went on one and those 2 and the tank on the other, burned mine down and got a kill shot on the other.

To clarify if anyone else was unsure, you only have to kill 2 ghouls on one phase, I'm not sure if you always get 2 ghoul phases, that may depend on your dps if they're timed or it might be a % health trigger, we burned down 2 on 1st phase then only got 1 on the second and got the achievement.

It's not a major dps check, we had a tank in 359's and blues, rogue in around 370, spriest slightly better and myself at 381. Bloodlust of course helps!

Use time warp and cooldowns during the first Calling of the Highborne, killed 2 adds, and on the second Calling of the Highborne, we only killed one. Got the achievment.Very easy

Tip that might help, just before she summons go stand just at the opposite of where you want to go and close to her. When Sylvanas reels you in, you will already be facing the right direction and you land more quickly which can give you just enough time to pop some CD's before you have to fight, and can immediately use them when the global cooldown goes down.

Earning the Achievement:

Although it's not clear from the wording on the achievement, you must kill two ghouls in a single Highborne phase to earn this achievement. Simply killing one ghoul in each Highborne phase - two total - in insufficient.

You can kill two ghouls in any single Highborne phase, though, and earn the achievement. And it only has to be done in one of the Highborne phases, not each phase. If you kill two ghouls in one phase and only one ghoul in another phase, you'll still earn the achievement when the boss dies.

Best practice is to mark an area on the ground, and plan to kill the two nearest ghouls that spawn to that point, unless you're very fast with putting up raid markers (a raid marker on the group may help, especially since some group members may get turned around and disoriented when she pulls the group in). The boss doesn't hit hard, so some groups may even use a hybrid to tank (e.g., a dps kitty in bear form) to have extra dps to burn the two ghouls for the achievement. A reasonably well geared group can do it with the standard 1 tank, 1 healer, and 3 dps. Save personal and group dps cooldowns for the ghoul phase.

Achieved in random LFD group on the September 8, 2012.

The achievement doesn't require Timewarp/Bloodlust anymore due to the amount of burst that some classes can put out. In my particular situation I was able to solo one of the ghouls, while the other DPS dealt with the primary one.

Solo'd as a survival hunter with item level 487. This boss cannot be underestimated as she will still deal pretty high damage. I was lacking self-heals apart from spirit bond and had to pot to stay alive. The actual burn phase wasnt too hard. The ghouls get a stacking debuff that increases damage on them. Just blow the cd's in the second phase and you should get them down in time.

Solo'd today on my 90 Fury Warrior (iLvl 522). Saved DPS CDs for Risen Ghoul phase. Burn 2 of them and then burn Echo of Sylvanas. She still does a fair amount of damage so be prepared to self-heal, if needed.

Comment by guishir

Very straightforward at level 100, just a matter of pulling Sylvanas and then not DPSing until she finally summons the Risen Ghouls. Kill two or more, then defeat her, and your achievement will pop.

Are you trying to get to the RUBY dragonshrine and it just won't cooperate? Have no fear! Here's how to make it "hit shuffle" until it gives you the shrine you want!

First, exit the instance. Then--pay attention, this is important!--enter a different instance. It doesn't matter which one, and you don't have to do anything, just go in and come back out. Then reset all instances, and return to End Time. You should find a new shrine choice from the kiosk. If it's still not the one you want, just repeat until you get the one you do.

Just resetting and re-entering alone doesn't seem to do it. Unfortunately, you can only do this 5 times then it makes you wait an hour.

This is super easy at lvl 100. I just started the encounter and then waited for her to spawn the ghouls and killed all of them (only need to kill 2, but I wanted to be thorough). Then finish her off and cha-ching!
